§. 37. or Appendix or Supplement §. 1. Number of Immediate
Judicatories requisite in England
Art. 1. In this work in several places, as
well as in another work in several places, ten miles in round number, has been
mentioned as the greatest distance which any person will
have to travel from his or her home ere he or she will have
reached the Justice Chamber. From this assumption or say distance spring two
results. 1. an expression of the greatest number of miles which for
this purpose a person will have to measure with his footsteps
in the course of twenty four hours, being at the same time likewise
able to continue in the course of exercise, during an indefinite
length of time: 2. an expression of the number of Judicial
Subdistricts the establishment of which the here proposed system
would require and need for a territory of a given extent a
square of twenty miles a side.
Any the think like an approach to mathematical
precision being in practice physically impossible, all mathematical
language expressive of or aiming at any such approach
will on this occasion be excluded: the result would
be lengthiness and on that account by that means as well as others repulsiveness
without a particle of use.
For ascertaining for assisting the calculation of the
number of Immediate Judiciary Subdistricts that would be necessary for
England that is to say extent of territory alone being considered,
for a county of the extent of England, the following, being a course
alike simple and obvious, is the course which has been pursued.
A map of England having been laid upon the table a sheet
of transparent paper a little larger in every dimension every way than the map
has been was laid over it. From the scale of miles attached to the map the
length of 20 miles was in the two dimensions marked out requisite directions the horizontal and the vertical
the aggregate lengths in the two directions had been brought to .
